We are a Natural
& Cultural History Museum in South Central Alaska that has in recent years
increased our collection scope into the purchase of recent contemporary art
created by Alaskans. This is made possible through a fund made
available to us from a statewide foundation. We are looking to more
completely define our Art Acquisitions Committee & I am looking for advice
or examples from other institutions. In particular we are interested in
how others select the kinds of individuals to serve on their committees, i.e.
artists, community members, curators from other museums, art critics or
historians, multicultural/indigenous members, etc. Secondly, any examples
of responsibility descriptions for individuals serving on those
committees. Please fee free to contact me either on or off
list.
Thank you in advance
for your assistance,
